Mallorca Bike Tour

Meet your guides at one of our recommended pre-night properties for a transfer to our first luxury hotel of the week. From here, we’ll start riding through Mallorca’s heartland on remote, stone-walled roads peppered with vineyards, olive groves, and ancient towns. After lunch, head back to our hotel where you can spend the afternoon by the pool with a glass of chilled wine or an icy cocktail crafted with local gin. Tonight, we’re served a sumptuous selection of local ingredients from the island and its pristine coastal waters.

Today, tackle the epic Cap de Formentor lighthouse ride—one of Mallorca’s legendary roads. Our ride begins with an inland spin to the fortified town of Alcúdia, the ancient Roman capital of Mallorca. Our main climb of the day takes us from Port de Pollença to the Colomer Mirador, where we’ll steal some magnificent glimpses of craggy rocks and the shimmering blue sea. Arrive at the lighthouse, enjoy a refreshing drink, and take a moment to snap some photos from the lighthouse terrace. Ride all the way back to Port de Pollença, or transfer and arrive in time for lunch at Tolo’s, a favorite hangout for amateur and professional cyclists alike—Sir Bradley Wiggins has been spotted here. After lunch, return to the hotel by van or via the coastal road to Alcúdia. Tonight, our friend Christian opens the doors to his home in the mountains, where he’ll show us how to prepare paella negra—a classic Catalan rice dish made with squid ink and aioli. Afterwards, gather around the table to enjoy it for dinner, accompanied by a selection of our favorite Mallorcan wines.

Today we will ascend into the dramatic Tramuntana Mountains, where the terrain is captivatingly diverse. From rocky lunar landscapes to magnificent coastal cliffs that plunge into the azure sea, our ride reveals hand-hewn tunnels, mountain lakes, shady forests, and quaint sandstone villages. Climb the Col de Puig Major, the highest point of the week where we’ll pause to absorb the views of the valley below before an exhilarating 14-kilometer descent into Sóller. After lunch, hop in the van or ride to Deià and check in to our next elegant hotel. Tonight, we’ll embark on a culinary journey through the Mediterranean with dinner at our hotel.

Today we dial down the intensity—we’ll need our energy for tomorrow’s spectacular finish. Ride out from the hotel on the coastal road to the picturesque town of Deià, arriving just in time to catch the local market. Spend some time exploring the market and the town’s artisanal shops before lunch on the shaded terrace of one of our favorite local places. Choose to ride back to the hotel or transfer by van. This evening, have dinner on your own in the hotel’s casual tapas bar or your guides can recommend their favorite nearby restaurants—the choice is yours.      

Today’s ride has us cruising between the Serra de Tramuntana and the sea on one of the island’s most revered—and scenic—coastal cycling routes. Along the way we’ll complete a challenging section of the prestigious Gran Fondo Mallorca 312 before a breathtaking descent into the chic marina town of Port Andratx, where a celebratory lunch will be served. Afterwards, opt to continue your ride all the way to our final hotel of the week, or transfer by van. Unwind this afternoon at your hotel before we share one final gourmet dinner, toasting to our adventures together. 

In the morning your guides will transfer you to the airport or to your hotel in Palma if you have decided to extend your stay. Although your Mallorca adventure has come to an end, there is more to explore on this stunning island paradise.
